I've no idea what 'white mediocrity' is.

I've no idea what 'black mediocrity' is.

But I do know that assigning derogatory characteristics on the basis of skin colour is racist.

If 'progressive' society won't condemn all racism then it can't condemn any of it.

Dear arrogant self entitled cyclist dinging your little bell and yelling obscenities at me on this path. No I won’t be getting out of your way, as you now know. Walking the 200m wasn’t so hard was it. Remember the hierarchy of vulnerability and the need to comply with signs?!

Not all gays backed gay marriage. And not all Jews denounce the Gaza marches. This is irrelevant to the core fact that democracies use principle more than participation to set policy. And the principle here is that the glorification of extremism present on these marches is wrong.

The only thing that could ever possibly make spending the night watching this faux-centrist gang initiation ceremony even worse would be if Channel 4 hired the cryogenically regenerated corpse of Alastair Campbell's conscience to commentate on foreign policy & civic integrity.

Migrants' children are not obliged to hold views that liberals allocate to us on the basis of our heritage. Insisting that 'people' like us must be genetically programmed to back mass migration typifies the champagne racism the chattering classes think makes their bigotry better.

It is unacceptable for the police to blame the victims of potential bigotry, argue Ike Ijeh and David Spencer

4 of the world's Top 10 universities are in England. None are in the EU.

Britain's youth unemployment rate is 12%. In much of southern Europe it's as high as 28%.

Somehow I don't quite think it's 'British youth opportunities' that are uppermost in the EU Commission's mind!

Disagree. The problem is the Met's cut extremism too much slack. How on earth can they ever in good faith ban a future march on extremism grounds now? Yes they have a difficult job. But they've made it worse for them & us by acting as private security rather than public servants.

Minds aren't determined by melanin.

Only racists (who sadly come in all colours) think that women who aren't white are allowed to hold fewer opinions than those who are.

How have we come to a situation where a law-abiding Jewish man can be treated by a police officer with such casual disregard?

We absolutely reject this narrative from @MetPoliceUK. It is appalling, abject victim blaming.

The Met’s statement should be immediately retracted.

Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has sent Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist to blame us for putting a “dent in the confidence of many

'You're quite openly black. This is a BNP march. I'm not accusing you of anything but am worried about the reaction to your presence.'

I can't see it either. In effectively criminalising Jewishness, the Met. risks raising the long arm of the law in a Nazi salute. Rowley must go.

Barclays Bank in Croydon has been vandalised. Red graffiti reading ‘Free Palestine’ and ‘Stop Funding Genocide.’ Windows also smashed.

This is threatening and criminal behaviour, worse than anything I’ve seen in the UK from the far right in years.

Humza Yousaf’s hypocrisy is astounding. He rails against racism, while complaining that Scotland is too ‘white’. He slammed Kate Forbes for her Christianity, then made a big show of his own Muslim religiosity. The man is a clown, writes Malcolm Clark
